Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

And all the girlies say

I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro,

Cinco, cinco, seis

You know it's kind of hard just

To get along today

Our subject isn't cool

But he fakes it anyway

He may not have a clue and

He may not have style

But everything he lacks,

Well, he makes up in denial

So don't debate,

A player straight

You know he really

Doesn't get it anyway

Gotta play the field

And keep it real

For you no way,

For you no way,

So if you don't rate,

Just overcompensate

At least you'll know

You can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabes, so

Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

And all the girlies say

I'm pretty fly

He needs some cool tunes,

Not just any will suffice

But they didn't have Ice Cube

So he bought Vanilla Ice

Now cruising in his Pinto,

He sees homies as he pass

But if he looks twice,

They're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate,

A player straight

You know he really

Doesn't get it anyway

Gotta play the field

And keep it real

For you no way,

For you no way,

So if you don't rate,

Just overcompensate

At least you'll know

You can always go on Ricki Lake

The world loves wannabes,

Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah,

He's gettin' ink done

He asked for a "13"

But they drew a "31"

Friends say he's trying too hard

And he's not quite hip

But in his own mind,

He's the, he's the dopest trip

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uh-huh Uh-huh!

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro,

Cinco, cinco, seis

So don't debate,

A player straight

You know he really

Doesn't get it anyway

Gotta play the field

And keep it real

For you no way,

For you no way,

So if you don't rate,

Just overcompensate

At least you'll know

You can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabes,

The world loves wannabes,

Let's get some more wannabes

Hey, hey, do that brand new thing
